Punishing Children.

A mother who uses the rod writes to the Toronto Mail:— Will you allow me to say a word on behalf of the much- abused lad? I think all will admit with me that punishment is uature’s method of enforcing obedience to her laws, punishment that sometimes is ter- ribly severe. Take an instance. 1 for- bid my child to play with lighted papers, and for disobeying me I punish that child and prevent the dangerous amuse- ment in future. My neighbor’s child also plays with lighted papers, but its mother is “soft-hearted,’ refuses to punish her child, who continnes the for- bidden sport, and as a resultis burned Severely, perhaps fatally. Now, the punishment I inflicted, sufficiently severe to enforce obedience, was greater kind- ness to the child than the laxity of my neighbor. Satisfied that punishment oa necessary, let me say a word as to the different methods of punishment Differ- ent opinions may prevail on this ques- tion, but for my own part, after much thought and experience in rearing a large familyg@™ prefer the rod, and for the following reasons: (1.) The pain is physical and is more deterrent than moral punishments, depending for their efficacy upon the disgrace ihvolved. 2.) There are no dangerous after conse- quences, as may be the case in confine- ment, deprivation of food, locking up in the dark, ete, resorted to by some parects. (3.) The punishment can be better graded to the offence, and made light or severe as circumstances demand.”

Went Down With The Ship.

Captain Tod4, of the British steamship Sarah Anp, which sailed from Baltimore in February, and reached Galway, Ire- land, in the latter part of March, re- ports that crossing the ocean, and while in lat. 38 north and lon. 65.30, he fell in with a lot of wreckage. Capt. Todd scanned the horizon with his glass, and two or three miles south he sighted a brigantine tossed about by the moun- tainous seas. The national colors of France and a flag of distress were found flying from her masthead. Capt. Todd steamed to windward of the distressed

ors, but a small boat would not live in Such acea. Ry sprinkling oil on the sea, he was enabled to secure compar- atively smooth water, and a lifeboat from the steamship rescued four of the sailors. The Captain, the mate, and cabin boy of the ship were deaf to the entreaties to abandon her, and they bade a last farewell to their comrades as they sailed away. As soon as they saw the rescued sailors were safe on board the steamship, they hauled down the signals of distress, went below and an hour later the vessel sunk with all on board. Her name was the Dix Freres, and she was bound from Martifique to Boston, Mass.

—_— — <p It Didn’t Work.

A young man from St. Lonis read in the papers that there was an infalli- able way to get ahead ot the monte fiend. ‘‘When,” said the journal he con- sulted, “the gambler lays down the three cards and _ offers to wager that you canaot take up a desig- nated card,pick up all three at one sweep and you have him sure.” Impressed with theinfallibility of this rule, the young maa from St. Louis lay around till be found a Chicago gambler who was in- viting any adventurous soul who would bet $5 to pick the jack out of the three cards that form- ed his working capital. The young man said he didn’t bet o04 $5, butif the gambler had any money he had a $50 bill that would talk, The bet was made and the gambler threw the cards. “Now you. bet $50 that I can’t pick up the jack,” said the St. *Louisau, with a smile of confidence, ‘‘That’s me,’’ laconically replied the gambler. ‘Then here she gues,” replied the St. Louisan, as he took up all three cards at once. “I guess that’s my money,” said the gambler impassively; ‘‘there’s no jack at all there!” There wasn’t either, and he took the money, ‘You see, sonny,” he added, “there’s a big percentage in favor of the dealer in this here sinfu! game.” — Texas Siftings.

(From the School Journal.)

A lad in school was found guilty of a serious infraction of qgcipline aud was directed by his teacher to tell his mother what misdemeanor he had committed. The next morning the schoolmarm called Johnny to her desk, when the following dialogue ensued : “‘Well, Master Johnny, did you tell your mother what infraction of discipline you were guilty of yester- day, and the reprimand and punishment you received?” “Yes’m,” was the 'sententious reply. ‘*Well, and what did your mother say?” “She said she’d like to wring your neck for you.” No more | discipline reports were sent home to that mother,

Threatening Circulars.

A despatch from Lawrence, Ky., of the 7th says that in “ Ottawa and this ty circulars were yesterday distributed on the streets. They were printed in red with a wide red border, and were headed ‘ A mere question of blood.’ They

teachers. They begin by saying: You have sent your sons, wards and pupils equipped with implements of mutilation and murder to coerce, drive, mangle and kill a body of workers who are strug- gling with a giant foe against monster oppression, and closed with the follow- ing threatening language: Wherefore understand this illstarred fact that while this is a free country it is a free country for all, and jut so surely as you serd your boys to slaughter the strikers, just so surely will the strikers slaughter your boys. Have not your blinded guides apprised you of this fact ? We presume not; they have been so busily scheming to keep you asleep.”

In Tom Hood’s veracious ballad of ‘* Miss Kilmansegg and her Golden Leg.” the heroine is a young lady, who having had the misfortune to lose her natural flesh and bone supporter, is presented by her father, a wealthy capitalist, with a golden substitute—cork or wood being deemed by him too utterly plebeian to bear the weight of his heiress.) Tempted by the fame of her golden leg and other solid charms, a suitor at length appears, and is favorably received. He marries the lady, and for a brief period everyone is happy. But happiness among mortals is but a fleeting shade, and when at last the husband demands possession of the precious limb for which he had sold his bachelor independence, the lady indig- nautly refuses to part with it. A strug- gle ensues in which the wife is killed by a blow on the head with the golden leg. The leg that had been the emblem of her wealth, the cause of her fame, and the attraction to her suitors, thus became the instrument of her destruction. Then, according to the ballad, an inquest was held, of which the verdict was ‘ felo de se because her own leg had killed her.”

Apvice to Morusrs,—Mrs, Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little shrub awakes as ‘‘bright as a button,” Itis very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, regulates the bowls, and is the best known remedy for diarrbces, whether arising from teething or other causes, Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for **Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup,” and take no other kind. [feb 4e0d wkly

The report of the Registrar-General for Ireland, for the year 1885, shows that the number of natives of that country who emi- grated‘during the year was 62,034, a smaller number than in any year since 1879. The total number of emigrants from 1851 to 1885 inclusive was 3,051,361, an average of 87,181 for each year. The annual average in the years from 1852 to 1855 was 148,- 985: in 1856-1865, 88,272; in the next ten years it decreased to 74,667, and in the last ten years it decreased again to 67,357.

Horace Dodd, of Millview, Va, killed a six-foot mocassin snake last week that had a wire collar around its neck, to which was attached a button with these words: ‘‘Den’t tread on me!” As this was the motto of the famous Revolutionary ‘‘Oulpepper Minute men,” and as the button was pro- bably from one of their uniforms, the ques- tion arises as to the probable age of this particular serpent.”

‘*Why are we like angel’s visits!’ said « pretty girl on a sofa to her bashful lover, who was sitting lonesomely on a chair at the other end of the room. ‘‘Really,” he stammered and blushed, ‘I must give it up. Why are we!” ‘‘Because,” she re- plied, significantly, ‘‘we are fewand far between. He destroyed the similarity almost instantly.

High society circles in England are flus- tered over the fact that the wife of the disgraced and imprisoned Viscount Hinton has been forced to return to the stage, her original mode of life, in order to support herself and her children. She obtained an engagement at the Sadler's Wells music hall, where she made her first appearance

Dr. Luther 0. Rose, of Pelmyra, Ohio, claims to have invented after three years’ work a most excellent telephone transmit- ter. Inatest made on Monday over 878 miles of a wire a whisper was heard dis- tinctly, and also the ticking of a watch held ten feet from the transmitter.
